Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, known for her role on Jersey Shore, announced her engagement to boyfriend Justin May on April 1. The 37-year-old star shared the news on Instagram, revealing that May proposed on March 16. She expressed her happiness and excitement, calling it the easiest question she has ever answered. Fans and her Jersey Shore castmates, including Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and Pauly “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, congratulated Giancola on her engagement.
Giancola’s engagement ring, a round-cut diamond set in a gold band from Cozzi Jewelers, was showcased on social media. The Pennsylvania-based company also celebrated the news by sharing photos of the ring. May also shared his excitement about the engagement on his social media, expressing his love for Giancola and his eagerness to spend the rest of his life with her. The couple began dating shortly after Giancola’s split from Christian Biscardi in 2021.
After getting engaged to Biscardi in 2020, Giancola confirmed their split in July 2021. They had initially planned to get married in 2020 but had to reschedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The insider revealed that the split was amicable and drama-free. Giancola hinted at her new relationship with May in November 2021 by posting a photo with him captioned “Thankful.” She also posted a festive photo of them together under a Christmas tree the following month.
Despite moving on in her personal life, Giancola’s former Jersey Shore castmates expressed their hope for her to make a cameo on the show. Giancola was previously linked to Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, whom she dated during their time on the reality series. After their split in 2014, Giancola did not have plans to appear on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which premiered in 2018. She introduced May to her followers on social media in November 2021, marking the official beginning of their relationship.
